Of the six, five are Salvadoran and one is Mexican. All of them are in the country illegally, ICE spokeswoman Kate Pote said in an email. All six are identified in ICE gang databases as members of MS-13. After their arrests, ICE placed detainers on them.

Pote said she could not provide further information, citing privacy concerns.

Velasquez-Hernandez is 16, but is being charged as an adult in the case. He waived his rights and spoke to county police detectives at an ICE office in New Orleans, according to charging documents. He said he participated in surveillance that led to Cuellar’s murder, police said in charging documents. Police said he pointed himself out in video surveillance footage.

The Baltimore Sunreported the MS-13 members allegedly stalked Cuellar from a laundromat in July. They stabbed him to death with one member used “a machete-style knife” by his apartment.

Detectives allege the victim flashed “a hand gesture that was believed to be indicative of an affiliation with the 18th Street.” MS-13 supposedly has a war going on with the 18th Street gang.

These MS-13 members are little sparks of divinity according to the Gran Mafiosa Puttana of San Francisco, Nasty Pelosi. Meanwhile, the NRA, which traces its origin to 1871, and boasts among its past presidents Ulysses S. Grant, is a “terrorist organization”.

Yes. If I am unable to defend myself from the always armed criminals because I am unarmed, the government is my only “hope” for “safety.”

These murders are a feature not a defect in the plans of the Democrats. The Democrats will block actual solutions. They only want controls (like the non-sense term “gun control”) on the symptoms. They are not stupid. They are evil. Their voters are stupid.

Maybe the administration could marshal its limited resources by redeploying interior enforcement to Red areas focusing more on the employer; raids in multiple chicken processing plants in Mississippi. Concentrate efforts against these bad employment actors.

By all means keep the targeted nationwide raids against folks with a criminal warrant but otherwise redeploy away from blue states regarding interior enforcement.

The problems of years of lax interior enforcement won’t be cleaned up even by the end of a 2nd DJT term.

According to DHS status indicators, over 300,000 criminal aliens have been booked into local Texas jails between June 1, 2011 and August 31, 2019, of which over 204,000 were classified as illegal aliens by DHS.

Between June 1, 2011 and August 31, 2019, these 204,000 illegal aliens were charged with more than
320,000 criminal offenses which included arrests for:

Let’s bring this home to where it belongs. The congressman who represents where this man was murdered voted to block Trump’s effort to rid the nation of MS-13 and other felons by penalizing sanctuary cities.

Congressman Ruppersberger, 2nd Dis. (D), said in 2017 …

I voted against legislation that targets sanctuary cities – including those in my district – who rightly refuse to take on the expense and public safety consequences of turning their police into enforcers of civil immigration law. The “No Sanctuary for Criminals Act” would unfairly withhold critical federal funds needed to fight crime and drugs and would only erode the trust we need between local police and the citizens they serve. It’s irresponsible and dangerous.

It was “irresponsible and dangerous” not to aggressively remove these animals from our streets using all the means at our disposal. I am certain the murdered man, Cuellar, would agree now. That is, if he was alive.

The feds should be conducting periodic, frequent raids on jail and court facilities in “sanctuary” jurisdictions. If they can raid businesses suspected of employing illegals, they should do the same to state and municipal buildings suspected of harboring criminal illegals. Governors, mayors, and judges would raise a fuss, but I suspect that local law enforcement would not stand in the way. Immigration is a federal issue, period.
